Is this Tyesha's first pregnancy? If so, she is a bit old to start with breeding. The reason for this is that, with each heat cycle where she is not bred, her uterus will thicken up a bit and become less elastic. Also, the pelvic bones tend to set and may not spread as well as they should. For these reasons, many breeders use 3 years as a cut-off point for a girl having her first litter. It's good that you're doing your research but please be aware that her age may make her more prone to complications. Best of luck with Tyesha. |
